    First Launch With New Camper

    You will like to option of having the camper or the boat when travelling. We haul with a '12 F350 diesel and an 8' Adventurer camper. I hardly notice that I am pulling the boat. One thing I did do was add a backup camera to the camper, mounted high above the man door. It does two things for...

    Canadian Boarder opens April 1st

    I don't think this will effect the border opening or any other factor for visitors to Canada. The statement above is not really true as there are four major parties and a few smaller ones and independents running the country. Two of the them ( the ruling Liberals and the NDP) decided to...

    WARNING Raymarine Quantum 2 Radar Positioning

    I mounted my new Raymarine Quatum 2 radar dome on the radar arch today and it fits fine. I may have to add a spacer or move the solar panels I have on the arch as there is about a 3/4" gap caused by the panels. The radar dome is larger than the 2005 model and a lot lighter. There should be no...

    WARNING Raymarine Quantum 2 Radar Positioning

    Thanks for the info. I just got my new Raymarine System including the Raymarine Quantum 2 Radar. I checked to see that the bolts will fit and they do, but the dome is larger than the 2005 unit. I have a rear radar arch with the anchor light behind the radar. I will have to put the new dome...

    Gotta Sell - Need Advice

    I would simply take some nice photos of your boat and post them along with a for sale ad on this site. The ad is free and this site probably has the biggest pool of C-Dory buyers anywhere. Good luck with the sale.

    Advice on adding radar, updating electronics

    Yesterday it was like Christmas. My new Raymarine system arrived and I unpacked all the parcels. My 2005 22' cruiser still had the original Raymarine C80 system and radar. Everything still worked, but like an old computer, the system was awkward and slow to use compared to new systems. I...

    What's your favorite fish for the table ?

    You can't beat sockeye for the table, but I'm more likely to catch a sculpin. All I can say is that it will sustain life.

    What Butane Stove?

    In addition to the Wallace stove that we use most mornings I carry two butane stoves with me. I carry a butane Jet Boil with a pot combo for that quick cup of coffee. The second stove that I carry is a Korean butane table stove that I bought at an Asian Supermarket. They sell for $20-30, have...

    Upgrading from Raymarine C Series to Axium ???

    I use a Ram Mount for the iPad, which I attach with the Ram suction cup to the centre dash board. It works very well, but put a safety line onto the mount as I have had if fall off once or twice in rough seas.

    Upgrading from Raymarine C Series to Axium ???

    I ordered my Raymarine Axiom+ system yesterday and plan to install it this spring once I have 100% of the parts. There are some supply chain issues that hopefully will not cause problems. I don't want to pull my old system, also it's too cold to do so here in Alberta now, until I know that...

    Upgrading from Raymarine C Series to Axium ???

    Yes we are getting a depth reading. This is the main reason I bought it. In 2019 we set out on first cruises off Vancouver Island and sometimes found that the Raymarine depth sounder was not giving me a reading or giving me something that based on the charts was completely wrong. Now if I'm...

    Upgrading from Raymarine C Series to Axium ???

    I'm just working out the details of my Raymarine System order with the dealer. Getting all the parts in this time of shortages and delays may be the biggest challenge. I will be ordering the Axiom+ 12" with the Real Vison Sonar and the RV-100 transducer. I will also keep my small Garmin on...

    C-Dory 22 Accident

    I too have reflective tape on my boat and every two feet on the antenna's. I am considering one of those tube like radar reflectors that are often used on sail boats. I would mount this on my radar arch next to to the back of the radar dome. I was wondering if anyone had thoughts if this...

    I just looked up the Port Edwards Boat Launch Ramp on Google Maps and there are good photos of it on street view. It looks like this will be my likely launch and parking spot in June.
